Installing SOGo on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Introduction

SOGo is a free and open-source groupware software that allows users to easily manage their emails, contacts, and calendars. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install SOGo on Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you should have a basic understanding of the command line and be familiar with Fedora CoreOS. You should also have sudo privileges on the system.

Step 1: Install the necessary packages

Before we can install SOGo, we need to install some necessary dependencies. Open a terminal window and run the following command to install the required packages:

sudo rpm-ostree install mariadb-devel libmemcached-devel gnutls-devel zlib-devel postgresql-libs libicu-devel libcurl-devel libuuid-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel openssl-devel

This will install the required libraries and headers that are needed for the SOGo installation.

Step 2: Add the SOGo repository

Next, we need to add the SOGo repository to our system. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://packages.inverse.ca/SOGo/nightly/rhel/latest

This will add the SOGo repository to your system.

Step 3: Install SOGo

Now we are ready to install SOGo. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo dnf install sogo

This will install the SOGo package along with any required dependencies.

Step 4: Configure SOGo

Once the installation is complete, we need to configure SOGo. SOGo uses a configuration file located at /etc/sogo/sogo.conf.

To edit this file, open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo nano /etc/sogo/sogo.conf

In this file, you can configure various settings such as email server details, authentication settings, and more. For a detailed explanation of the various configuration options, refer to the SOGo documentation.

Step 5: Start SOGo

Once the configuration is complete, we can start the SOGo service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start sogod

This will start the SOGo service.

Step 6: Enable auto-start

To ensure that SOGo starts automatically when the system boots up, we need to enable it as a system service. To do this, run the following command:

sudo systemctl enable sogod

This will enable the SOGo service to start automatically at boot time.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we went through the steps required to install and configure SOGo on Fedora CoreOS. We also learned how to configure the SOGo service and enable it to start automatically at boot time. Now you can start using SOGo to manage your emails, contacts, and calendars.
